Can anybody give me some recommendations for absurd movies? Basically any movie that does its best to be as strange as possible in a creative way.

I'm a Cyborg, and That's Ok - See the Watching thread. I was giggling like an insane fool the whole time because it was so impressively odd.

Just about anything from Charlie Kaufman fits this bill. He tends to make serious dramas about ridiculous scenarios, and they all make complete sense nonetheless. Being John Malkovich is one of my favorites, a portal to the mind of a semi-obscure actor and the people who obsess about it in an half-sized office. Adaptation, a movie about the making of itself that changes as it moves along was also great. And also Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, about a guy who has the memory of his GF erased, but takes place in his mind as he clings to the memories.

Mulholland Drive - Probably the king of absurdity, though more serious. It has a "just go with it" feel. I feel like I've pieced everything together, but most people think it's inentionally unsolveable.

South Park - A rare show that gets better each season. So many strange adventures, from Cartman taming Chtulu like it's My Neighbor Totoro, to a "found footage" movie parody featuring rampaging guinea pigs corralled by Peruvian pan flute bands in shopping malls..

I'll also add Better Off Dead - A newspaper delivery boy's quest for a $2 debt, two asian guys who leaned to speak English from racing announcers, TV dinners as Christmas gifts. I didn't bother with this until only a few years ago, but I wish I'd discovered it sooner.

Synecdoche, New YorkSeven Footprints to Satan The print is terrible but the film is so strange.A Page of Madness- I believe this is the correct name. Silent Japanese film from the '20s. Saw it recently on TCM when they were doing their salute to the George Eastman House. Very wild, bizzare film.

"You can lead a horse to water but a pencil must be lead"-Stan Laurel
Moe-"Were you scared?" Larry-"No, just apprehensive." Moe-"Apprehensive, that's a pretty big word.What's it mean?" Larry-"That's scared with a college education!"

You can’t really go past Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas for a movie that succeeds admirably in being completely insane yet incredibly enjoyable at the same time. Gilliam captured the frenetic madness of HST's writing perfectly.

Don't worry darling, its just a hat, belonging to a small man of limited means who lost a fight with a chicken!

I absolutely love this movie - Me, You and Everyone We Know- its really, really weird but it works.

Of course, Donnie Darko

Ghost World

If you can stand really messed up you can check out Ken Park

Doom Generation - small little 90's movie with a great soundtrack - another favorite of mine.

Another one of my absolute favorites -The Rules of Attraction

and another obvious choice - Natural Born Killers

Roger Corman's The Trip; probably the only film that Roger actually researched. Peter Fonda took him out to the woods and they dropped some acid together.. he wrote it about it in his bio. (Corman) it was pretty funny. I think Jack Nicholson wrote the script, not sure, I know he wrote Head - The Monkee's trying to be The Beatles.

It's not as though I really need you, if you were here I'd only bleed you..

Corman did a lot of research into Freudian vs. Jungian psychology when he developed the first couple of Poe adaptations, so he had already turned into a more mature and sophisticated filmmaker by the time he directed The Trip.

And I would recommend picking up a copy of the Criterion disc of Head. There's a lot more going on in that movie other than simply the Monkee's imitating the Beatles. Frankly, as a film, as opposed to a pop culture artifact, I think Head is far better than Help!. The cameo with Frank Zappa alone is worth the price of admission. Plus, to conclusively prove my 60's pop culture heresy, I also think the soundtrack music in Head is as good, if not better, than that in Help.

Pretty much any of Guy Maddin's post-2000 work. Start with The Saddest Music in the World and Dracula: Pages from a Virgin's Diary, and if you can handle those, move on to Brand Upon the Brain! and My Winnipeg.
